The park was designed by
architect Peter Castle of Cannon Design and has been designated a Work
of Art by the Buffalo Arts Commission.

All plantings in the park, originally the work of the Linwood Historic
Preservation District and Friends neighborhood association, are now
planted, maintained and enhanced by Friends of Sisti Park, a Buffalo
block club of neighborhood volunteers.

On the northern edge of Allentown
is a small park on the corner of Franklin and North Streets at the foot
of Linwood Avenue. Sisti Park was dedicated in 1981.

Sisti was a founder and first chair of the Allentown Art festival and
in 1938 established his studio and gallery on Franklin a few steps
north of Allen St. Sisti’s works have been exhibited in major museums
including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Burchfield-Penney Art Center in
Buffalo. Two of Sisti's outdoor sculptures can be found in the
eponymous park...
